There should be an option if you go into Wi-Fi settings and hit the menu button to get the Advanced menu. You can change the Wi-Fi sleep policy by clicking "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep". Whether it actually works as advertised or not is more luck than anything else. Sometimes it sleeps, sometimes it doesn't. Even if it doesn't, though, the battery hit isn't too bad.

My battery life fluctuates widely from day to day. Some days, it's down to 50% in a few hours. Others, like today, it's at 80% after 8 hours off the charger. It's quite odd, I must say.

You don't need to take the extra step and Odin to stock. All you need to do is flash GB Bootloader and then flash v8 and you should be good to go.

[Vibrant Android Development] tsiah:
I think having the screen on the whole time drains the battery faster than the charger can charge. I've used GPS on trips with and without the music player going and the battery is always more dead than when I plugged it in. I don't think there's any way around it. You could put the screen to sleep when you don't need the GPS (such as when you're on a long leg of the trip that is all freeway.)

Why aren't you using the gingerbread bootloader as directed in the OP?

I moved some apps to SD and rebooted the phone. It was stuck in a boot loop for some reason. Any ideas there?

I booted into recovery, formatted as per the OP (I did this formatting before my initial flash...) and reflashed V8. After restoring with titanium, no more low memory notification.

One problem I've had is the browser being SUPER slow sometimes and just a minute ago it locked up on me all together. I got a pop up "browser is not responding" with the options of "wait" and "close". I closed it, then the phone soft rebooted.

Has anyone else been having random reboots? I guess they aren't too "random", but only when I'm doing certain activities. Trying to open "Words with Friends" is one of them. It has rebooted while I was stressing the browser as well.

Never had a problem on the passion series yet, until now. I've been running V8 since the day it came out. Any suggestions? I've tried reflashing. Still is occuring.

Has Neo stated he's working on anything new? If so, perhaps I can wait until the new release to do something.

Thanks Vibrant community!

[Vibrant Android Development] chui101:
I love this ROM, it is my daily driver now. It absolutely blazes when you don't ask too much of your phone.

I do have to complain about the memory management though. Whenever i have more than a few apps open, the system has to swap memory a ton and this makes everything lag. kswapd0 is third in cpu usage for me behind surfaceflinger and system_server. It would be nice if the system were more aggressive with killing old apps so the active application didn't lag as much.
[Vibrant Android Development] ddab:
I found the same issue with kswapd0 pertaing to memory swap. It was my biggest cpu hog. Interesting......

[Vibrant Android Development] hurtz777:
The voodoo color one works perfect on v8 but with no gps.
[Vibrant Android Development] psz01:
After several days of use:

Included launcher FC'd once in awhile, switched to ADW Ex (which I'd gotten a while ago) , and everything is **FLYING**

GPS: Best since I bought the phone with the original pre-update1 2.1. I can even get Navigation from inside my house.

Speed: Did I mention it flies?

Battery: 6 hours first day, up to about 15 now. Seems to be getting a bit better with every calibration. Only major downside so far

Mute/Unmute: Only happened once. I've had several incoming and outgoing calls, and only once did I have to mute/unmute.

911: Haven't tested, pray I never have to.

Apps: Couple of minor issues with some apps, but that very well may be ICS related (IE: Facebook Sync is ICS, not this ROM), so I'll hold off there. Latest Swype beta works perfectly.

Only thing I still need to get around to is getting a decent video player (I actually got used to Samsung's).

All in all, this is a keeper. Only way I see it getting better is if the battery life gets better.

Widgets and Such

Hey guys, been running V8 for about a week now and I will have to say that it's pretty solid. Had some FC issues with the lanucher, but found a launcher that FCs a little less (it also came with a modified build.prop).

Also, GPS worked initially but now has decided that it doesn't want to work anymore even after reboot, etc. Not critical as I know where I am going most of the time.

How are people getting such great battery life with this ROM. Is someone holding something back on us? I can get about 14 hours with moderate use.

Some of my widgets from the drawer are too big for the homescreen and I can't figure out how I can make them smaller. Has anyone seen this same issue?

Widgets that are too big: GMail (6 x 4), Music (7 x 2), Photo Gallery (6 x 4) and my favorite Pulse News widgets (7 x 3 and 7 x 4).

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] turbosix:
depends where i'm typing. websites get lag, other places, not so much.
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
I don't think you can ask for a better battery life than that.

14 hours should be more than enough. Charge it at night...?

Everyones battery is different. Things like apps, usage, etc. make the difference.

^ i agree, in browser it lags, but everywhere else specifically messaging its great. Can't imagine a keyboard lagging in messaging lol
[Vibrant Android Development] airhop7:
Same here after about a week of use things are starting to get a bit of lag and battery is eh but I always have an extra bat around, GPS is totally dead for me now I don't know why, launcher is fcing a lot more. My speed is slower than before. Hopefully v9 is gonna be insane
[Vibrant Android Development] paulidin:
Ohhh! The CPU clocking--didn't even think about that. I've got the "lite" ROM Toolbox that has some CPU sliders -- if I turned down the max for my trip home, do you think that would do it?

---------- Post added at 02:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:58 PM ----------

In fact, I discovered the screen-drain en route. If I left the display on with GPS + music + charger, it drained down very quickly. If I turned off the display but left the GPS + music + charger, it charged up slowly. So I turned it on when I heard "In 2 miles..." and would leave it on for complex interchanges, or I'd turn it on to skip past a song; otherwise I left the display off and it worked out really well.

Obviously, I'd prefer to see what's going on so on the return trip, I might try reducing the clock speed (other advice reply) to see if that helps.

I don't have a PC and I just discovered the Heimdall One-Click before my trip so I haven't had a chance to try it with my Mac. I'd used a friend's PC to get the froyo bootloader on here via Odin. I plan to reread the instructions several times and then to go Gingerbread Bootloader via Heimdall once I get home.

Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] turbosix:
you could always try getting a better charger. most ****ty car chargers only have 500-750mA output. There are special ones that guarantee a full amp, and some that go even higher.

example (yes i know it's freakin $40.. but there are cheaper alternatives)

Been using this ROM since the 21st. First day the ROm took a while to settle. After it did, it was heaven. But the last few days, this ROM has become a big BAD.

Really REALLY bad keyboard lag

Phone randomly reboots

Apps shut off during mid use

And now, the phone is stuck on the shattering rainbow boot screen.

I'm really beginning to miss my Windows Phone :(

Just remembered. I think what got my device stuck in bootloop was when i used SetCPU to overclock my device to 1300. At that moment the screen brightness increased and the device froze. Pulled the battery and boom, Infinit bootloop.

So i decided to go into recovery and reflashed. Definitely won't be using SetCPU till the final version.
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
THATS WHY YOU SEARCH.

NEO has already told us that 1300 is UNSTABLE.

1200 MAX

god im just on my period or something pmsing all over this forum this week... please, start using the search or atleast read a few pages back... It may sometimes save you from a brick, or a bootloop. Some people get super pissed about answering questions a few pages back, i do too. I'll give it to you this time...

I'm guessing since its in a inf. bootloop, a factory reset would fix it. next time don't OC above what is default there, unless if someone tells you its safe to do so.

edit: i just noticed your edit... don't blame SetCPU, i've been using it for a while now and it is doing its job perfectly.
[Vibrant Android Development] DonutYankee:
I'm not actually sure why the default max setting on this ROM is 1.2 GHz. Seems like keeping it at 1 GHz makes more sense as a way to ensure stability and better battery life. Not like 1.2 GHz makes it any faster.
[Vibrant Android Development] WingCero:
First and foremost I'd like to apologize to the makers of SetCPU. SETCPU was NOT the issue.

When I opened SetCPU my intentions were to underclock the CPU for when the screen was off. For no real reason I wanted to see the max, so I moved the dial all the way up just to see, and instant freeze. By no means did I want to overclock. So searching was not necessary because I wasn't planning on closing the app with a higher CPU, so I don't know where you got the idea I was *trying* to overclock. Either way, I'm back to fresh Passion v8.

Think what caused Passion to freak out the pass few days was due to the lack of RAM. So I'll just keep the app downloads to a minimum. If this keeps things stable, it def is a sign that the Vibrant's time is up for me, and make the decision to wait and purchase the GS2 (at&t version) or wait to see what the GS3 will be.

Thanks for the work, Neo.

Anyone else having problems with the browser? Its incredibly laggy for myself and I find it practically unusable. The browser use to be fantastic for me prior to this build.

First and foremost, much thanks to Neo for producing such an awesome ROM! Granted I only flashed it an hour ago I love how smooth and responsive my phone is.

I just had a quick question for those that have already flashed this rom. Forgive me if it was posted earlier. I read through quite a few pages & haven't seen someone with the same issue.

Is the automatic date & time working for everyone? Mine is showing a time difference of +12 hrs. I have automatic date & time as well as automatic time zone checked like any other phone but am getting that drastic time difference.

EDIT: *slaps forehead*

Figured it out. Unchecked Automatic time zone, selected correct time zone, and checked automatic time zone again. All is well!!

[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
Passion

I know this is a beta and the devs want just the type of feedback you have given, but now that you have given it check out Pikachiu's 'Thunderbolt!' thread over in the i9000 forums. Those tweaks address exactly those issues. He has an amazingly detailed OP. Might as well test to see if it works on this version of ICS while Neo is working on an update. The lower lmk values are for multitasking while the higher are for performance. The middle values are for both.
[Vibrant Android Development] Exel:
I can confirm that Supercharger and Thunderbolt tweaks sure did speed things up a little, there was less lag and it felt more responsive, but they don't work quite as well as they do on CM7, etc. Still worth it in my opinion.

Again, till Neo comes up with a fix, try out thunderbolt. Pay particular attention to the 'drop cach' script.

You used both supercharger and thunderbolt scripts together? It seems like there might be some overlap causing conflict sine thunderbolt looks to have integrated some supercharger tweaks.
